Rangers look to keep win streak alive, host the Islanders
The Islanders may choose between Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov, while the Rangers try to extend a three-game winning streak.
- On Tuesday, the New York Rangers host the New York Islanders at Madison Square Garden, looking to extend their three-game win streak in a Metropolitan Division matchup.

- Head coach DeBoer has not yet revealed the starter for Tuesday's game, though he indicated he may disclose the decision on game day. Varlamov received a thunderous ovation during Saturday's pregame introductions.
- Players from both teams recently reflected on Alex Ovechkin's announcement to retire from the Capitals and NHL at season's end, with Varlamov and Sorokin praising the Russian legend who once helped Varlamov transition to North America.
